USDTV Clears 10K Hurdle

Over-the-air subscription-TV service U.S. Digital Television Inc. said Wednesday that it has topped the 10,000-subscriber mark.

USDTV launched in March, and its service is available in Salt Lake City; Albuquerque, N.M.; and Las Vegas.

"There has been exceptional consumer response to our unique new service," chairman and CEO Steve Lindsley said in a prepared statement. "Our growing base of subscribers demonstrates that the model works and that there is a strong and viable new business for broadcasters in the pay TV industry."
